Dear Robert,
If there is any way you could get to our Network of Spiritual Progressives conference in D.C. June 11-14, it would really be important for me for you to be there.

If money is the problem, we could lower your registration fee to whatever you could afford (even to zero if that was the determining factor-though of course we badly need the registration fees to offset the costs, and we can't afford to pay for your transportation or hotel the way groups like AIPAC do to get their large numbers at their conferences).
And of course, if you can only come for part of the conference, that's fine too (Friday and Saturday are the most important days, though Sunday is the day we demonstrate at the White House and get to hear from the most significant progressive Evangelical thinker in the US-Rev. Brian McLaren).

As you know, we are planning to launch at our conference the ESRA-- Environmental and Social Responsibility Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which would not only overturn the Supreme Court's disgusting pro-corporate "Citizens United" decision that eliminates restraints on corporate spending during elections (and hence will move the country even further to the right), but also our ESRA will forbid most private funding and require only public funding for Congress and the presidency, and will require corporate environmental and social responsibility beyond anything currently contemplated by either Congress or many of the tame environmental organizations, (To read the current draft of the ESRA, paste this into your web search: www.spiritualprogressives.org/article.php/20100427162647109 and you'll find our latest, but not final, version).
May GOD restore "IN GOD WE TRUST" and get the C.I.A. out of the U.S. Treasury's pocket or treasure chest -- churning the largest account in the world. May GOD have mercy on we decent humans created in HER/HIS IMAGE?
